Truck Swerves off Street in Santee; Smashes into House
SANTEE, CA (February 13, 2019) – A truck, which went out of control, swerved off a street in Santee and smashed into a house in the morning on Monday. The February 11 accident occurred on Padre Lane in the 9200 block.
The time was roughly a bit after 9:00 a.m.
Reports say that the person who had been driving the vehicle, which was described as a large-sized construction truck, lost control while traveling down a hill. The truck then smashed into the house.
Authorities said that the house, which was not occupied at the time of the accident, was heavily damaged from the impact of the crash. A neighbor heard the crash and ran over, yelling to find out if anyone had been in the house.
While respondents looked for victims in the wreckage, the people who lived at the house came home and said no one was inside. The identities of the people who reside at the house have not been reported. The person who owns the house—identified as Richard Brawn—came to the accident scene after being notified by his tenants.
According to reports, the driver—identified only as a man—was not hurt in the accident. He told officials who are investigating the accident that he thought his brakes failed. No one was reported injured in the accident.
Crews faced a challenge in figuring the best way to remove the truck from the house without causing more damage to the structure. Crews from the utilities and a building inspector also came to the site to examine damage and look for hazards that would pose a risk to public safety.
The investigation is continuing.
